By Evelyn Witterholt. 

Here’s what’s been trending on RoofersCoffeeShop® (RCS) this past September.  

The roofing industry is growing at a rapid pace and so is the technology we use every day. With that in mind, it’s not a surprise to us that one of our most read articles in September was about 7 new technology trends in the construction industry. This article came to us from ABC Supply who discusses how technological advancements like 3D printing and cloud-based software are changing our industry. 

Safety is always on the forefront of our readers’ minds, which is why it is the subject of two of our top 10 most popular articles from September. One of these comes to us from The RIDGEPRO® where they discuss how their namesake product is specifically designed to help steep-slope roofers work safer. Another popular safety article came to us from John Kenney, CEO of Cotney Consulting Group, who discusses how roofing crew leaders need to lead with safety in mind. 

Our number one most read article from September was a project profile by DaVinci Roofscapes. In this article, they highlight a re-roofing project using their impact-resistant composite slate. After their customer was tired of sustaining hail damage on their roof, they had a new DaVinci roof installed that could withstand golf ball size hail.
